Thurman Law Firm: Experienced Workers’ Compensation Attorneys
When you get hurt at work and are trying to get back on your feet, the last thing you need is to fight for the compensation that is yours by law. Your confidence in your ability to take care of yourself and your family may be understandably shaken, but you can do this. You just need the right kind of support.
If your employer is refusing your workers’ compensation claim, that support should come from Thurman Law Firm.
Our Workers’ Compensation Attorneys fight to ensure injured workers receive the benefits they deserve. Missouri law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance, providing financial support for employees who sustain workplace injuries or occupational illnesses. However, securing these benefits can be challenging, as employers and insurance companies often attempt to minimize or deny claims.
Our experienced team of Workers’ Compensation Attorneys helps injured employees navigate the claims process, protect their rights, and secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term disability. Whether you have been injured in an accident, developed a work-related illness, or face wrongful denial of benefits, we are here to advocate for you.
Understanding Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Missouri’s workers’ compensation laws provide various types of benefits to employees injured in the course of employment. These benefits include:
- Medical treatment coverage: Payment for necessary medical care, surgeries, therapy, and prescription medication.
- Temporary Total Disability (TTD): Compensation for wages lost while you are unable to work due to your injury.
- Temporary Partial Disability (TPD): Benefits if you can return to work but at a reduced capacity with lower earnings.
- Permanent Partial Disability (PPD): Compensation for long-term impairments that do not prevent you from working entirely.
- Permanent Total Disability (PTD): Benefits if your injury leaves you unable to perform any form of employment.
- Vocational rehabilitation: Assistance in retraining and re-entering the workforce if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job.
- Death benefits: Financial support for dependents of workers who suffer fatal workplace injuries.
Why You Need a Attorney
Filing a workers’ compensation claim may seem straightforward, but many injured workers encounter challenges, including:
- Delayed or denied claims: Employers and insurance companies often dispute claims, arguing that the injury was pre-existing, not work-related, or not severe enough to warrant benefits.
- Insufficient compensation: Insurers may offer less than what is needed to cover medical bills and lost wages.
- Pressure to return to work too soon: Employers may attempt to force injured workers back before they have fully recovered.
Having a local Workers’ Compensation Attorney, someone who knows the area, the businesses here, and your rights, can be the difference between winning and losing your case. Our highly knowledgeable attorneys will handle all aspects of your claim, from gathering medical evidence to negotiating with insurance companies and appealing wrongful denials.
